Real Photo Wins An AI Art Competition #funfact

After an image won 3rd prize and the Peoples Choice Award at an AI generated art competition it was disqualified because it was revealed to be a real photo and not AI generated.

Apparently the judges were actually pretty chill about it when they found out, even though they had to disqualify him.

Ok but like, I never knew a flamingo could condense itself so much in such a funky way???? That's fairly cool to learn about

[NWolfsson]

The people's choice award is the most important for me. Shows that people still connect better with an actual artwork than AI (for now at least)

He didn’t let ai take his job, he took ais job

If a real photo is disqualified from an ai competition, ai photos should be disqualified from a real photo competition

Being called the biggest NPC on YouTube is crazy 💀

Kinda reminds me of the actual Dolly Parton anonymously entering a Dolly Parton lookalike competition...and losing 😂

Awards for AI generated stuff is just a crazy concept

As an artist who has been working on my skills since i was young all i can say is “Hell Yeah”

[XLMRX]

I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so I can do the writing, painting, photography, and art in general.

You know I do think it's ironic that someone got disqualified at a art contest for not faking their art

[Foxy_AR]

Why are there even competitions for *AI* art

(Edit: wow there are a lot of opinions about this)

[Shrawneysheep]

heres an idea for ALL art competitions:

you have to have photo or video proof of the process of HOW you created it

if you send a video of what ai does

it'll look off

but if you send a real photo

it will have trial and error

[fish]

That’s so based, very cool stunt. The fact that his photo won with the average voters is also hilarious lol
I do unironically love his photo outside of this whole story, too!

[TheMutantCreeper]

The fact that this is what a flamingo naturally does is even funnier.

Who else thought it looked like a brain with legs?

One of the few cases where being disqualified from a contest is actually a great honor!
